Abstract

A broadcasting system with auto programming and viewer number feedback is provided, which includes a data gathering device, a viewer number calculating device and a program auto-scheduling device. The data gathering device is used to gather a program list and a local viewer number data. The viewer number calculating device is used to calculate a local viewer number. The program auto-scheduling device is used to automatically determine whether to adjust a program schedule of the program list according to a comparison result between the local viewer number and a determined viewer number. Therefore, the broadcasting system of the invention can detect viewer and definitely calculate viewing efficiency within a predetermined status, and can precisely quantify the viewing efficiency using the caught data. Additionally, the broadcasting system of the invention can automatically evaluate whether to reschedule of a program according to the data feedback to conform the predetermined viewer status.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A broadcasting system with auto programming and viewer number feedback, comprising:
 a data gathering device, for gathering a program list and a local viewer number data within a first determined time period on time basis; 
 a viewer number calculating device, for calculating a local viewer number corresponding to at least one determined program of the program list within the first determined time period according to the local viewer number data; 
 and a program auto-scheduling device, for automatically determining whether to adjust a program schedule of the program list within a second determined time period according to a comparison result between the local viewer number and a determined viewer number; 
 if the local viewer number is smaller than the determined viewer number, the program auto-scheduling device increases the program schedule of the determined program in the program list within the second determined time period according to a weight value; 
 wherein the weight value is calculated based on the following formula:
   weight value (%)=((((predetermined total viewer number−obtained total local viewer number)/(predetermined total time period−broadcasted determined time period))−local viewer number corresponding to the determined program within a determined time period)/((predetermined total viewer number−obtained total local viewer number)/(predetermined total time period−broadcasted determined time period)))×100%.
 
 
 
     
     
       2. The broadcasting system according to  claim 1 , wherein the data gathering device is used to obtain the determined program and the local viewer number corresponding to the determined program. 
     
     
       3. The broadcasting system according to  claim 2 , wherein the data gathering device further comprises a time slicing unit for slicing the program list and the local viewer number data within the first determined time period on time basis, so as to obtain at least one determined program relative to the program list and the local viewer number data, the local viewer number corresponding to the at least one determined program and a local passing number corresponding to the at least one determined program. 
     
     
       4. The broadcasting system according to  claim 3 , wherein the viewer number calculating device calculates a sum of the local viewer numbers corresponding to the determined program within the first determined time period according to the local viewer numbers corresponding to the local viewer number data of the determined program. 
     
     
       5. The broadcasting system according to  claim 3 , further comprising a client database for storing the at least one program list, the at least one local viewer number data, the at least one local passing number, and a client identifier. 
     
     
       6. The broadcasting system according to  claim 5 , wherein the client database further comprises a face recognition device for calculating and obtaining the local viewer number and the local passing number. 
     
     
       7. The broadcasting system according to  claim 5 , further comprising a report generation device for outputting data in the client database according to the client identifier. 
     
     
       8. The broadcasting system according to  claim 7 , wherein the report generation device further outputs the data in the client database according to a customized data output amount. 
     
     
       9. The broadcasting system according to  claim 1 , wherein the program auto-scheduling device further comprises a feedback supplement unit, if the local viewer number is greater than or equal to the determined viewer number, the program auto-scheduling device does not reschedule of the determined program within the second determined time period. 
     
     
       10. The broadcasting system according to  claim 1 , wherein the program auto-scheduling device further determines a predetermined total viewer number, a broadcasting start date, a predetermined total time period, the determined programs and the program list, wherein the determined viewer number is calculated based on the following formula:
   determined viewer number=(predetermined total viewer number−obtained total local viewer number)/(predetermined total time period−broadcasted determined time period).
 
 
     
     
       11. The broadcasting system according to  claim 10 , wherein the program auto-scheduling device determines the predetermined total viewer number, the broadcasting start date, the predetermined total time period, the determined programs and the program list therein via a network.
